Upon surfing for more stories about Adam Lanza, I discovered that the possibility of him being on psychiatric medication(s) has become one of the RW/pro-NRA talking points.

While the OP's link presents very interesting stats that could represent a correlation/connection with these medications and violence, I do not want to take part in NRA apologist's speculative talking points on this incident. *Not suggesting the OP is attempting to do that, as I'm sure he/she (?) may have just found the subject matter interesting in the same way I did, initially.

I hope this subject will be explored further by reputable researchers someday, but don't want to muddy the water w/this topic in regard to the Newtown incident.

As an aside, I could have self deleted, but wanted to explain the full edit without kicking up the thread.
